[...] He wants to know where he stands, and he wants to fit a neat category, so that he can say to the world: “If you are a shoemaker, I am something as definite; or if you are a professor, I am a writer or an artist, or a —?” He wants his contemplation to pay off, and he is very anxious about where his money goes.

[...] (With some ironic humor:) I am laying it on here. [...]

This is not to be taken as a symbolic idea, for I am speaking in quite practical terms. [...]

[...] I think of April but am not sure. [...]

Now, my friend, I am quite capable and agreeable. [...]

I speak to our Philip first, since he is indeed such a faithful and amusing guest, of whom I am indeed quite fond. [...]

[...] I am not sure here: the tree connection could be Hazelton.

I am giving you frequent breaks since Ruburt is dealing primarily with this sort of work this evening, and there is a difference in the energy used. [...]

[...] I am not, however, promoting dependence upon feelings above the intellect, or vice versa.

[...] I am not speaking now of eccentric behavior on the part of, say, creative people or anyone else, but of a lack of understanding of emotional values.

I will have more to say about that particular issue, for I am speaking about certain cases only.

I am speaking now of you both. [...]

Now I am telling you this: Ruburt is emotionally deprived, and that is what his physical body does when it knows it. [...]

Your symptoms lay in a different area, and I am sure you know where. [...]

[...] Though I may emphasize the importance of inner reality in this book, therefore, I am in no way denying the great validity and purpose of earthly experience. [...]

I admit that I am being sneaky here; but if you did not feel the need to kill animals to gain knowledge, then you would not have wars, either. [...]

(When Seth is speaking rapidly I find that I write rapidly in order to keep up, often without much awareness of what I am putting down as far as meaning goes. [...]

[...] (Pause.) In the back, behind his place of residence, and another person with him, I believe a male, though I am not certain of this. [...]

[...] I will fly away without flapping my wings, for I am a wise old bird.

(Humorously and louder:) I am still sorry that you missed our class last week. [...]

[...] Nor can you prove scientifically that the creation of the world was the result of a chance occurrence—so you will not be able to prove what I am going to tell you either. [...]

[...] I am making an attempt to verbalize concepts that almost defy the edges of the intellect, unless that intellect is thoroughly reinforced by the intuition’s strength. [...]

Before the beginning there existed an interior universe that had no beginning or ending, for I am using the term “before the beginning” to make matters easier for you to assimilate. [...]

[...] I am saying that this mental progeny included all of the consciousnesses that [have] ever appeared or will appear upon your earth—all tenderly couched: the first human being, the first insect—each with an inner knowledge of the possibilities of its development. [...]

(4:20.) I am not saying that anyone should pretend that unfavorable circumstances do not sometimes exist, or that they may not be encountered in the past, present, or future. [...]

[...] I may or may not return, again according to those rhythms of which I speak — but know that I am present and approachable.

I am not suggesting that you do not visit doctors under such situations, because the weight of your negative beliefs about your bodies usually makes it too difficult for you to bear such uncertainties alone. [...]

I am not speaking of the physical challenges of other jobs. [...] I am telling you that when your entire physical circumstances appear hopeless to you, then you must change them, or honestly admit that these are the circumstances within which you must work, and not fool yourself. [...]

Now since I am here, you can ask me what questions you have on this.

[...] I am simply trying to explain attitudes. [...]

[...] I am trying to tell you what does exist instead. [...]

[I] am writing down two dream experiences, each with some nightmare elements, though not too intense. [...]

[...] I am not sure of the miniature connection however. [...]
